Neo Teen Takeover Break the Mould

Celebrate 10 years of Tarnanthi with a jam-packed program curated by local mud wizard, Tiarnie Edwards.

Meet your guest curator

Tiarnie Edwards is a Ngarrindjeri artist born in Kaurna Yarta in 1998. Raised on Nauo Country in the Lower Eyre Peninsula they grew up in the small sea side community of Tulka. By the end of 2020 they moved back to Kaurna Country to study a Bachelor of Contemporary Art at the University of South Australia, graduating in 2023.

Tiarnie started working with ceramics in 2022 for the first time whilst studying at University and ceramics has become a core focus of their artwork. Their practice focuses on themes of identity, culture, history, politics, and activism and the intersectional way these fields overlap within complex and diverse identities within contemporary Australian life, particularly Aboriginal Identities.
